Massachusetts FFA State Convention

Currently, the Massachusetts FFA Association is holding their annual state Convention. These conventions are usually held from Tuesday to Friday, but due to a snowstorm they just had, students had to wait a day to go to the convention. For me, I was a member of the Norfolk FFA Chapter, and as a member, I did a lot in FFA. I started off with going to my first ever FFA Convention my freshman year. I had so much fun. During my freshman year, I participated as a backup for a quiz bowl competition. Quizbowl is a competition where students test their knowledge and history of FFA. After freshman year, I developed a big love for FFA. Through my sophomore to senior year, I participated in a floriculture career Development Event. In the event, students take two to three tests, Do an ID test, create a floral arrangement, and they have to work as a team to create certain arrangments.
By Senior year, I finally achieved a goal in my life. To be a leader. I was a member of the Norfolk FFA Senior Officers as a Sentinel. I was glad to be an officer because I got to meet a lot of great students and help them develop a love for FFA. That is what I want to do in life. After College, I have another goal and this is a career goal. I want to go back to my High school and teach. If I can get one student to create a love for agricultural education, I know I am doing my job right. To the students who are currently at FFA state convention. Have a good time! For the seniors, make sure you guys make this year your greatest. Make it memorable!

Agriculture Teachers and Students

The National Association of Agricultural Educators state that "Agricultural Educators teach students about Agriculture, food, and natural resource." The educators don't just teach us agriculture, food, and natural resources. They also teach us about how to advocate for agriculture with not just animals, and plants, but with how to strip down a tractor, how to be create floral arrangements, and also teach us about the importance of agriculture, even if it is in a suburban area of living.
